enjoyned on that day to a stricter performance of holy Duties, and
restraint of worldly business, than upon other days they are;
wherefore, if their hearts incline not naturally to good, now they
will shew it, now they will appear what they are. The Lords Day is
a kind of an Emblem of the heavenly Sabbath above, and it makes
manifest how the heart stands to the perpetuity of Holiness, more
than to be found in a transient Duty, does.

On other days a man may be in and out of holy Duties, and all in a
quarter of an hour; but now, the Lords Day is, as it were, a day
that enjoyns to one perpetual Duty of Holiness: Remember that thou
keep holy the Sabbath day, {29b} (which by Christ is not abrogated,
but changed, into the First of the week,) not as it was given in
particular to the Jews, but as it was sanctified by him from the
Beginning of the world; and therefore is a greater proof of the
frame and temper of a mans heart, and does more make manifest to
what he is inclined, than doth his other performance of Duties:
Therefore God puts great difference between them that truly call
(and walk in) this day as holy, and count it Honourable, {29c} upon
the account that now they have an opportunity to shew how they
delight to honour him; {29d} in that they have, not only an Hour,
but a whole Day to shew it in: I say, he puts great difference
between these, and that other sort that say, When will the Sabbath
be gone, that we may be at our worldly business. {29e} The first
he calleth a Blessed man, but brandeth the other for an
unsanctified worldling. And indeed, to delight ourselves in Gods
service upon his Holy days, gives a better proof of a sanctified
Nature, than to grudge at the coming, and to be weary of the holy
duties of such dayes, as Mr. Badman did.
